Parenting Teens: The Biggest Job We’ll Ever Have Podcast

Parenting Fundamental 4: Have faith in your child’s unique potential and the larger forces at work. This 13th podcast with Laura Gauld is a special one. (Not that they aren’t all great!) This fourth fundamental is a wonderful tool to help us as parents let go when things go off track – getting out of the way so our kids can experience some short-term struggles for long-term gain - learning something about themselves, acquiring some grit and some courage. Laura also talks about labels we put on our kids and the importance of creating a partnership based on trust with your child’s teachers and coaches. Today’s mantras are: Allow obstacles to become opportunities Resist labels of any kind Give others permission to challenge your child Who you are is more important than what you can do. "Your children are not your children."
